Frustrations of a Grass Runway...
I woke up this morning to a blue sky with a few clouds just minding their own business, checked the wind, not even windy enough to be worth putting the washing on the line... so off I tootled to the local grass strip (Barton). Good day for flying.
"Oh here we go, the optimist" I was greeted with (big smiles) "Have you got your water wings?"
The runway (aka 'Rugby Pitch') was waterlogged. No flying. Aerodrome closed. Probably a good day to dig up worms, but not much else.
Back I jumped in the car, headed for home, and bought a couple of Christmas presents on th eway home instead.
